Pay it Forward: Blog Award


Liebster Award




Cindy from Cottage Remnant blog: www.cottageremnant.com kindly gave me a blog award that's about discovering new blogs.

Thank you so much Cindy for thinking of me, I feel honored to be included in your five choices.


ABOUT THE AWARD 

This award was designed to be a blog award in the pay it forward fashion. Once you've been nominated, you award it to five blogs that you like that have fewer than 200 followers, to encourage new visitors to visit these blogs. 


RULES FOR ACCEPTANCE 

Thank the person who gave you the award and link back to their blog. Post the award onto your blog. Give the award to five bloggers who you appreciate that have fewer than 200 followers. Leave a comment on their blog letting them know that you have given them this awesome award! 

PAY IT FORWARD
There are so many bloggers who have inspired and helped me to date and to find five was very hard. Okay, I couldn't pick just five, so I've cheated and have six for you to check out' Here are my choices of art blogs that show lovely artwork and some step-by-step or how-to's, with less than 200 followers:
1. http://livingwithhandswideopen.blogspot.com
2. http://newlycreative.blogspot.com
3. http://marvelesartstudios.blogspot.com
4. http://ginnymarkley.blogspot.com
5. http://joreimer.blogspot.com
6. http://sketchbook-wandering.blogspot.com

If you are looking for creative art journaling prompts, Bernice from Newly Creative blog sets up art journaling challenge groups online. They are a great way to connect with other art journalers and keep the creativity coming!  Also, I've been following another blog that connects with my heart and where I am at right now, but couldn't include in the list because she has just over 200 followers.

  2. Oh, Valerie, What a lovely surprise, I thank you!! In my next post, I will happily pay it forward! I'm a bit humble about doing step-by-steps, but you remind me how much I love other people's process, so that may be a fun addition to my journey. You know, your blog is very special to me, as an art blog, but also as a spiritual journey. Humbly, Rita

  4. Valerie,
    Thank you so much for thinking of me. I am delighted. I have been amazed at the wonderfully supportive blog community that has become a part of my life. I think this weekend's artful journey will have to be an expression of my heart full of gratitude. You are an inspiration! I love this award idea and I will continue the process and spread some more recognition and appreciation.
    Thanks, Dottie
